We’ll Carry Their Suffering

The bombs dropped on Gaza

Can be heard across the border

The bombs dropped on Gaza

Can be heard all over the world

The bombs dropped on Gaza

Can be heard in our nightmares

The only thing louder than the bombs

Are the screams of Palestinians

The scream of Palestinians who are begging the world to listen

Screams that echo in our hearts

Or at least those who have hearts

Screams that beg the question

how could you have let this happen

Screams that will forever echo the void

The void of humanity

We all heard them

We all hear their cries ringing in our ears

Yet the world is silent

as if it is a void

The world fell silent

And they tried to get Gaza silenced

They hoped their screams wont reach us

But it did

The screams for their families who might not hear them over the explosions

The screams for their children who might not be able to hear them anymore

They have no one to scream to anymore

They have no one to scream to except God

The world refused to listen

So they can only cry to their creator

The world might have ignored their voices

But God heard them

We heard them

Their voices might have been cut off

But their voices will never stop echoing

It will never stop echoing in the void

The void of the world’s silence

It will never stop echoing in our ears and hearts

We will always hear them

Even if their cries stopped

And we couldn’t hear their cries anymore

WE will never stop crying

We will carry the crushing weight of the rubbles crushing their bodies

We will carry their voices and scream them back at the world

We will carry their voices and scream them back at the world

In a hope our screams will haunt whoever has Palestinians blood on their hands

Haunt theirs nights and days until they are in the grave and beyond
